"Lots of new wood yet rich and fruity, with loads of plummy, toasty oak and meat character. Full-bodied, soft and round, with a long finish. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best after 2005. 8,330 cases made"

"The 2004 Modus (50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot) presents a layered texture along with suggestions of smoke, licorice and dark cherries supported by an underlying note of minerality. It offers excellent balance if not much complexity. (June '07)"
